Support for RTL838x based managed switches

Thanks for clarifying. What changes the object name? I guess that’s the mystery…

EDIT: So this is a fundamental problem with libubox / jshn where it loads a variable while substituting special characters with underscore. So it's the board_config_update that transforms the name.

So using the hyphen was a sad choice.

See the name changed immediately when jshn reads the file.

jshn -R /etc/board.json

It comes from the alphanumeric check in jshn:

          static void write_key_string(const char *key)
          {
          	while (*key) {
          		putc(isalnum(*key) ? *key : '_', stdout);
          		key++;
          	}
          }

And someone realized this last year in the commit comments.
